Additive Manufacture (sometimes referred to as 3D Printing) of metals is starting to become more widely accepted a technology for the production of critical structural components.

An Irish PhD usually takes 3-4 years. Traditional doctorates focus primarily on independent research; structured programmes include additional classes and a greater focus on transferable skills. Most students initially register for an MPhil degree before upgrading to the status of PhD candidate and completing their thesis. This will be assessed through an oral viva voce process involving two examiners.

EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training conduct research and training in priority areas funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Potential PhD topics are usually defined in advance. Students may receive additional training and development opportunities as part of their programme.

SFI Centres for Research Training conduct research in target areas funded by Science Foundation Ireland. Potential PhD topics are usually defined in advance. Students receive training to develop research, leadership and professional skills.
